With the warm weather here, it is time to freshen and lighten up our wardrobes. I love this time of the year as we can brighten up our clothes with splashes of colour, floral prints and cute shoes. Not that we can’t do that in the winter but fashion takes on a whole new meaning in the summer.

My favourite go to store for fashion is Giant Tiger. I have found the quality and price of their clothes can not be beat especially with women’s fashion. At our local GT Boutique that is the first section you walk into and you can become lost in there with the variety and styles of clothes and shoes. On one side you have the MyStyle line which is more casual, fresh and perfect for the beach, going out on the weekends and just relaxing. Then on the other side you have the Lily Morgan line which is a fantastic line of clothes that can take you from work to a night out in style. You also have everything in between from athletic wear to scrub wear for work and shoes.

I desperately needed to freshen up my wardrobe and on top of that I have recently lost close to fifty pounds so none of my older clothes fit me at all or if they did they were baggy and not suited to my body at all. Which made this shopping experience twice as exciting for me. I set out to find tops that I could wear to both work and out for social events, pants that I could interchange with multiple tops, casual wear for around the house and a new pair of cute summer shoes.

So here are my summer fashion finds, which I would love to point out that with the sales that were on this all came up to $100 – this was one of the best parts for me. Where else can you pick up quality and quantity like this at such amazing prices?

Those are all the clothes that I came home with from Giant Tiger and the picture below is a few of those above items with me rocking them. My favourite piece is the Lily Morgan black and white tank, it has this gorgeous lacy back that I wore to my son’s soccer tournament this past weekend.

What I loved the most (besides the quality and price) was how versatile the items were. I could add the tops to different clothes combinations and it would change the look and feel and the same went for the shoes! Which is what I love and need. I found I was hiding behind clothes and my Mom status and I didn’t want to do that anymore. I am proud of who I am as a women and wanted to show it off. Which is exactly how I feel in my new finds: proud, beautiful and smart. Not to mention this is the first time I have worn shorts in over fifteen years – now that was one proud moment for me!

You can find the complete women’s line online to get a shopping list prepared in your mind before heading into the store or just head in store for shopping fun with a best friend. I loved every minute I spent in store finding new tops and trying them on (and taking selfies to send the husband which I am sure he thought I was nuts for!!).
